What is Newsredir.com?

If Newsredir.com, as well as other dubious sites, keeps opening on your browser without your participation, you likely have adware installed on your computer (or tablet, phone). Most of the time users download adware unknowingly, along with free programs or apps from the Internet. Newsredir.com site attempts to trick users into enabling its push notifications. The site states that users need to click Allow button on a “Show notifications” prompt. If a user attempts to close “Show notifications” pop-up, an identical page from a subdomain of Newsredir.com (0.newsredir.com, 1.newsredir.com, etc.) opens instead. Should a user click Allow, he or she will start seeing Newsredir.com notifications on his/her screen from time to time. The notifications will advertise shady sites and post clickbait links. You may use this tutorial to get rid of the adware and remove Newsredir.com pop-ups and notifications from your browser.
